Paneer Manchurian Dry is one of my favorite vegetarian dishes in India-Chinese Cuisine. It’s mouthwatering taste and addictive texture makes very enjoyable! I have already posted Gobi Manchurian. Both are the best combination for Fried Rice. I prepared this dish at least once in a week. It is also very easy to prepare. So try it out and share your comments!

Furthermore, I would like to share some of my suggestions for perfect Paneer Manchurian Dry. Firstly, Mix all the ingredients for the paneer marinade then add paneer cubes. Toss the mixture gently. Then add 1 tbsp of water, so that the paneer is well coated with the marinade. Then shallow fry them with 3 tbsp of oil. But you can also add the deep fried paneer cubes to this recipe.

Secondly, Don’t fry them for a longer period because the paneer cubes become rubbery. Finally, stir-fry all the veggies until crunchy. Don’t overcook them. Also, don’t forget to add green onions at last. Because it gives so much flavor and makes it really Chinese dish.
